Cocoa Beach in numbers

Cocoa Beach has 11,377 residents (give or take 26) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,442 people per square mile.

Cocoa Beach is about 39 miles from the Census center point for Orlando in a straight line and covers 4.658 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Cocoa Beach that is 32931 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).

Median household income in Cocoa Beach is $87,990 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Multi-family first

29% of Cocoa Beach homes are single-family detached, 11% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 58% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19).

With 58% of Cocoa Beach homes in buildings of five or more units and 29% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 21% of Cocoa Beach homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Cocoa Beach has 37 points fewer detached houses than Brevard County overall (66%) and 41 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US12009, checked 2026-10-19).

Heating fuel in Cocoa Beach

Of the 6,018 occupied homes in Cocoa Beach, 5% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 92% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 92% of Cocoa Beach homes, ahead of gas at 5%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Cocoa Beach has about the Brevard County oil share of 0% and 5 points more electric heat than the county's 87% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US12009, checked 2026-10-19).

Your utility and the rebate

No electric utility is on file for Cocoa Beach on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

OUC heat pump A/C rebate, run by OUC, is a live program for Florida addresses and up to $1,150 (registry row 26 verified 2026-10-25, https://www.ouc.com/solutions-programs/savings/rebates/heat-pump-ac/, checked 2026-10-25); confirm eligibility for the Cocoa Beach address before counting it. With 92% of Cocoa Beach homes already on electric heat and 6% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Age of the stock

Cocoa Beach has 9,052 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 62% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19).

Cocoa Beach has 22 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US12009, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Cocoa Beach home was built in 1975 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19).

62% of Cocoa Beach homes were built before 1980 and only 8% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US1213175, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.

Sizing for Brevard County

Heating design temperature: 40F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Brevard County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 17 to 20 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 40F figure is the Brevard County cold-day number a Cocoa Beach heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 40F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cocoa Beach home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1975, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
